Hugs to you, Cindy.

I know how you feel. We had to make the same decission Jan. 2, 2002. It is really hard to say good-bye to a furry kid. Remember all the fun times with Meg and remember to that she's not in pain any more.

I am so sorry. I am preparing myself for the same thing in the coming weeks. I took one of my cats, Cinderella, to the vet on friday. She had a lump develop on her back seemingly overnight. Upon examination, a mass the size of a softball was found in her abdomen. She is a very large calico and the mass was undetected by my DH and I. The vet said she would probably not survive surgery so we have brought her home. She is still eating,drinking and using the litterbox. She does not seem to be in any pain yet, but she does spend most of her day sleeping. This is the first time I have had to deal with this as an adult and age has not made it any easier. I will just do what I can to make her last days comfortable.

Sorry to hear that Meg had to be put to sleep. At least you know you made the right decision, even if it was a hard one.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember how painful it was to say goodbye and put our dog to sleep after 14 years in our family. I was 24 at the time, and we grew up together. I had to take an unofficial "bereavement" off from work because I was an emotional wreck.

Cherish your memories - she'll always be close to your heart.

I am so sorry to hear this. We will most likely be facing the same situation with one of our two cats (the poor thing just keeps losing weight for no apparent reason).

My heart goes out to you and your husband. Meg must have given you lots of love and smiles in those 11 years.

Aw sweetie my heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. We had to do that with my dog cuz he was having waaayyy to many seizures and medicine wouldnt help him. Hang in there, it will get better day by day.

Love from CT

Oh Cindy, I'm so sorry!!!!! I'm just getting caught up with my posts & read about your sweet Meg!! I am a huge dog lover & the hardest thing we've ever done is put them down..
You'll be in my thoughts & prayers & remember Meg will be waiting for you over the "Rainbow bridge" ( that is one of my all time favorite poems!!)
E-hugs, my friend!!! Tears for Meg!! [img]graemlins/cry2.gif[/img]

I am soo sorry to hear about Meg. It is soo hard when the furry kids get sick. We had to put our Choulie down last November. Someone, I'm sorry I don't remember who right now, sent me the poem the Rainbow bridge and I just know that Choulie and Meg are there waiting for us both. (Tears start to flow just remembering)Much love and sympathy from the 'boys' (Hermie & Harley)and I.

Cindy, know that Meg will live on in your heart forever. You were so brave to help her on to Rainbow Bridge. You showed her the truest form of love by letting her go. My heart goes out to you and your family.

If it should be that I grow frail and weak, and pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done, for this last battle can't be won.
You will be sad, I understand, don't let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than all the rest, your love and friendship stands the test.
We've had so many happy years, what is to come can hold no fears.
You'll not want me to suffer, so, when the time comes, please let me go.
I know in time you too will see, it is a kindness you do for me.
Although my tail its last has waved, from pain and suffering I have been saved.
Do not grieve that it should be you, who must decide this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Aunt Wargo: That's all you can do for her, spend time with her, feed her tuna and make her last days with you happy. We had to put my beloved Fudge down on December 21 of last year and it was the hardest thing I've had to do. Up until that point, I'd only ever had 3 cats (Buffy, Bucky and Fudge) and Fudge was the youngest and the first to go..he was 8 and a half.

All we can do for them is love them and then not let them suffer. You're doing the right thing, just like luvnwdwgal did for Meg.
